Per The Des Moines Register, via MyDD.com, John Edwards still leads at 29%, followed by Barack Obama at 23%. Clinton is holding her own at 21%, but Bill Richardson just hit the double digits at 10%. No telling how that will go, and what sort of results it would take to pierce the Clinton inevitability gambit.
As her husband Bill used to say, six months is a lifetime in politics, so anything can still happen.
To that point, the Register also reports a Mitt Romney surge. Mr. Double Guantanamo, a candidate with the best haircut since John Edwards, the one who's been securing the GOP dough and, it seems, Bushies, flip-flops like a caricature Kerry, but he's pandering to all the right GOP special interest groups and isn't coming from Federal government, so maybe he's the one.
(I mean, anyone but Ron Paul. He tells the truth. If ever nominated, in the General Election, he might win.)
My guess is that Fred Thompson, sought to be savior, won't run. I'd be happy if it were Romney, as I think he's in many ways another George Bush. Barely a Governor in a state he hurt with his policies (just ask 'em in Massachusetts), claims to be a CEO-type who will bring those values to the Presidency, phony aura of compassionate Conservatism, chickenhawk, overly entangled in big business religion, morally bankrupt, father also failed in a Presidential election, lies in public.
Coming on the heels of George W. Bush, Willard Mitt Romney may just be the perfect Republican candidate.
